The ASICS GT 2000 2 provides the support and cushioning that you can depend on. A favorite among moderate overpronators, this daily trainer features a two-layered midsole to provide support without skimping on a smooth transition. Combine that with an airy mesh upper with a great fit, and you’ve got yourself a shoe ready to take on those miles.

Customer Reviews

Comments: My size is usually 12.5 4E in a running shoe. Not much to choose from in my size with stability. My first two pairs were Asics, but last year an Asics 4E was too narrow, so I had a NB1260v2 for over a year. But now I am back with the Asics GT-2000-2, which fit great on me. It has more cushioning in the sole, than the NB 1260v2 shoe, which makes the Asics better for walking too. Also, I like the blue/gray/color, and they do not look clunky in my size, as other shoes often do. However, the laces were a bit short, but when I called Asics customer service about it, they agreed to send me a longer pair of laces at no charge, and they did within a week. I wear my running shoes for treadmill running, walking, bicycling, driving, and for working in the home office. I do a lot of walking, taking the dog out about 3-4 times per day for 10 to 30 minutes per walk. So far I mainly use this pair on the treadmill, and they have been great; very little break-in use needed to feel very good. Getting to this shoe was quite a journey; I tried the following shoes first, but ended up returning them all because of fit issues. Most the 2E shoes below were too narrow, and the 4E was too wide. Thanks to the Running Warehouse staff for most of those returns: NB 1260v4, 12.5 4E; NB 860v4, 12.5 2E, too stiff; NB 870v3, 12.5 2E;Asics GT-2000-2, 12.5 2E; Brooks GTS14, 12.5 2E.

Premium shoes are for runners who run daily and/or run high-mileage. Premium shoes use high-end materials and the latest technology to enhance comfort.

Standard shoes are for runners who run daily and/or run high-mileage. Standard shoes use time-tested technologies and materials to meet the needs of consistent running.

Performance shoes are for runners who want shoes for faster paced training, such as tempo runs and interval workouts. Performance shoes are also suitable for daily training but will tend to wear faster than Standard and Premium shoes.

Racing shoes are for runners looking for peak performance in racing 5K to marathon distances and beyond. Racing shoes are also suitable for fast-paced interval sessions. Durability is sacrificed to save weight.

Heel-Toe Offset:

?

Heel-Toe Offset

Heel-Toe Offset refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. The heel is usually higher than the forefoot but is never lower than the forefoot. Some runners believe a lower offset leads to more efficient running. Traditional running shoes have 10-13mm offsets. Moving from higher to lower heel-toe offsets may require a transition period.

Stack Height:

Stack Height

Stack height refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this search, stack height refers to how much shoe is under your forefoot, as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.

Barefoot: 1-8mm. The shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground.

Minimal: 9-13mm. The shoe has a thin midsole but there is a lack of cushioning. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here and there is a feeling of being connected to the road.

Low: 14-18mm. The shoe has a midsole and may have added cushioning technologies. Performance and trail shoes are common here and there is still a good feel for the ground.

Medium: 19-23mm. The shoe has a traditional midsole height. Standard and Premium shoes are common here and cushioning technologies are prevalent. Feeling of the ground varies.

High: 24-29mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and extra cushioning. There is less feel for the ground and more feel of the shoe.

Maximal: 30mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on feeling a soft shoe and not really feeling the ground.
